Wilson, commander ot tne - k fleet, Is comtnc home. 1 For that reason tht Httlo white haired, old-fashioned woman who U the admiral's mother was much better to day and the the old friends, physician-, who are In attendance don't promise but hope she may be able to set up tomor- row when her illustrious son returns. 'If she can Just Ret up onco more, Vl be satisfied." wrote Admiral Wilson to Tits sister. He wa- recommended to bo promoted to a full admiral two months nRo, iu recognition of nis cr -Ices abroad. Admiral Wilson will review the pa rade of soldiers of Camden tomorrow and will be the Buet of honor of the city. Hut he hates "show." according to his sister, who thinks that he will spend mot of M time at the little home at .".15 Mount Vernon street where his mother is so ill. Stirred by Ilonor Mrs. Wilson was ns excited as a lit tle girl over the last celebration, the "welcome home'' of Admiral Wilson in April. As an honor to her, the paraders marohed past the home where lio has been for fortj-lhc years. It was too much for the little lady, and sho has hardly stirred from bed for nineteen weeks as the result, relatives say. That Is the reason the "biR time" tomorrow is being kept from her. The old -fashioned rooms were hoing dusted down to the lnt corner today "for Hnrrj" and the "grand sword," with which he was presented last time by Camden, was htms prominentia on the wall beside his picture. Flowers were put in the freshly polished vase, and ever thing is ready. "They make a lot of Harry." said his sister, Sirs. Townsend, "but he likes best the things his mother tells him when be comes here." She and the rest of the family never understood wheie "Ilaro" got his boy kood fondness for the water. "His father nctcr hnd it," they say. "Ho used to hae a dread of the water .. and said ho might go to Kurope some time, but it would only be when they built a railroad. Was "Tug" Wilson "They used to call 'Harry.' 'Tug.' " said Mrs. Townsend. "t am not sure whether that is because he used to sit around "the Starr Docks down the street all the time even when he was 'so' high and watch the tugs, or whether it was after n famous prize fighter of the I day, 'Tug' Wilson. He would even pla I hookey from school when a big boat was coming in and he was alwajsi bimply wild to go to sea." Mrs. Townsend said that Admiral Wilson had received an appointment to Annapolis when he was only fifteen years old, because he was able to pass the examinations, and he might hae told "a story" on his age, she said She said at Annapolis they used to call i him admiral "N'obby" Wilson. 1 j-"When he first got his uniform he nnd asked them all," she said, "to te'l JXJfiim it no didn't look 'nnb7.

"No other mother has a son like him," says Mrs. Wilson.
